W elcome to the
Film Buffs' Forecast Web Site. Based on the long running radio show on
3RRR
(102.7 FM) in Melbourne, Australia, Film Buffs' is a show for in-depth
information about what's happening in the world of movies.
Broadcasting every week on Saturday afternoon - midday-2pm
- and on
the net around the world - we have the latest release information
on new films coming to Australian Cinemas, Australian films in development
and/or production, video releases, interviews and reviews. Anyone who has a movie related question can e-mail us at
and our resident film historian, Paul
Harris (with a little help from the rest of the gang) will bend his
brain to the task of finding out even the most obscure bit of information.
If by some strange tear in the space/time continuum we can't answer the
question, then we will put the question out on-air and wait for someone
in the rest of the world to answer it.
This site is the place to find archived interviews
from the show, results of our annual listeners poll on the films of the
year and information about what's coming up on the show each week - along
with web links that we give out on the show. We have a Film Buffs' mail
list that you can subscribe to, which delivers all this info right to your
Inbox. Fill in your details in the box on the left and subscribe now.
